Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Suspiria, Nosferatu, Possession, Carrie...

Suspiria: Dario Argento directs, Jessica Harper stars, unique and powerful use of lighting (they used expired Kodak film stock, then underdeveloped it) Driving, totally creepy soundtrack by "the Goblins" which itself was a collectors item on vinyl 'til recently released on CD
Well paced, minimal dialog, lots of suspense, and a fair amount of blood, it's a Classic
Nosferatu: if you'll allow me to include the Vampire genre, the Klaus Kinski/Isabelle Adjani 80's remake takes quite some beating
Klaus Kinski was creepy without playing a Vampire IMHO, he's just awesome in this role. John Malkovich has attempted to scale this peak recently, I've seen it, and would say "no competition", Klaus was BORN to play Nosferatu..., Klaus 1, John Nil..
Possession: Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani, one of Sam Neills first films. A film so creepy, it's details are best not revealed...
Carrie: ha, ha, John Travolta is YOUNG in this one! What starts out as a fairly typical "B" type Hollywood cookie cutter production turns into a Classic. Sissey Spacek shows, and not for the last time, that she is capable of transforming a mediocre film into something really great...
There's are, hem, hem, oldies, but goodies
